Gun stores all over Connecticut were packed Tuesday, one day before lawmakers were expected to vote on a sweeping package of laws that would ban military-style assault weapons and magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

Theyre insane. Ive never seen them so busy before, shopper Shari Reilly, who bought up several high-capacity magazines, told NBC Connecticut.

Gov. Dannel P. Molloy, a Democrat, has said he will sign what could be the toughest law passed anywhere in the country" -- if it gets through the legislature. Connecticut would become the latest of a handful of states  following Colorado and New York  to enact strict new gun-control legislation after the mass shootings in an Aurora, Colo., movie theater and Newtown, Conn., shool. President Obama was scheduled to speak in Colorado on Wednesday to push new federal laws.

Gun manufacturers, ammunition makers and gun store owners in Connecticut have said their businesses will be threatened if a stringent new gun control bill becomes law.

I feel like we have one foot being pushed out the door, Mark Malkowski, the owner of AR-15 manufacturer Stag Arms, told NBC Connecticut. He said his company has received nearly two dozen incentive-laden offers to move out of the state.

I wonder what inanimate object CT will blame when the Sandy Hook survivors get blown to pieces by an Islamist with a backpack bomb? It’s not like there will be anyone with a gun to take him out before the button is pressed.

If a foreign force wanted to terrify idiot America into submission that would be the way to do it.

Retard America will outlaw backpacks and turn any child wearing one into a felon. I wish this was just a joke but you know it may happen...

why they still live up there after how the north east has gone is beyond me, still those tax payers are giving more tax money for the lunatic left to spend and for a fake vet to spend their money on pure liberal crap

Here’s how it works. They pass a law. Normal, law-abiding non-violent people are officially declared “lawbreakers” by the law. The cops arrest the honest people, and the politicians declare that they have arrested so many people, and thus they have solved the problem.

Liberalism is insanity.

Meanwhile, hardened violent criminals laugh all the way to the trunk of a gun-runner’s car and buy whatever the hell they damn well want. Then the criminal rape, loot, steal and murder the innocent people who were declared “lawbreakers.” The politicians are happy because their original intent was to create a permanent underclass that rises up against honest, law-abiding people.

Watch as law abiding citizens become felons at the stroke of a pen?

There is no such thing as a law that over rides the Constitution of the United States.
all of my life I have been informed of my rights and a pack od a-holes cannot change these rights with a State law written by a pack of fools.

One day these laws will comeback to haunt these trasonous people who would steal our rights. American have not yet been reduced to the jugheads in England who calmly give up thri rights .One day we will fight.Wait until push comes to shove and remember who voted to steal your birthright.They are your target, and they are dependent on others to protect them.

They are training these DHS/HSI/SRT guys that white conservative Christians are all potential Timothy McVeighs, just getting ready to blow up federal buildings. Seriously. They are priming these guys up for action in Das Homeland, and we are the enemy.

Literally true, in the case of Romania. The Ceaucescus were in the middle of a Communist Party "mass rally" when the mob of revolutionary people showed up and broke it up. The Ceaucescus didn't just flee the public space, they hauled ass back to the palace and then took a helicopter out of there, just like Saigon. The People caught up with them a couple of days later, and that was that.

Madame Ceaucescu went out with her mouth open, still barking orders at her executioners to release her and her husband immediately.

To #9: How about the decent people of Connecticut taking NEW HAVEN back from the communists and marxists who now run it?

Seems that Rep. De Rosa (D-WITCH), is in bed with Joelle Fishman, the Communist Party USA leader in New Haven. Don’t believe me, check out the database site www.keywiki.org - search for Connecticut, Rep. De Rosa, Joelle Fishman, Communist Party of Connecticut, and you’ll see some very interesting photos and documents.

New Haven is part of the Red Triangle that goes all the way to Boston and Cambridge, Mass. As in Vietnam, it is time that it was cleaned up and out.

Yes, old industries have secondary suppliers that they depend on. I could see how that is.

But, can the firearms companies continue to take the punishment. I saw this happen in the Chicago Area. It was the center for hardware manufacturing for 100+ years. China killed the manufacturing and the cost of doing business killed the distribution and the cost of office presence forced the industry out. Now it is dispersed.

Banking/Finance/Brokerage in the NE is facing the same thing. The NY Stock Exchange was purchased by a company in Atlanta, if I understood correctly. It that the beginning of the slide for that industry?
